[Conan/Through Her] Fairy's Indus

Xiaolan pressed her phone, raised her head and asked me: "Ruri, do you have any impression of this melody?"

I have an impression. Isn't this the famous "Seven Children"?

"What's wrong? This melody." I asked.

Xiaolan frowned and recalled: "Conan asked me last night. I always feel that this melody is familiar, but I can't remember it."

"Is that so..."

It seems that something happened to Rena Mizuna in the past few days. The anchor of last night's news has been changed. Now she should be asleep in Aido Hospital under the protection of the FBI.

Speaking of which... it seems that the clue about the "seven children" that Conan could have obtained from Belmode on the night of the full moon was cut off by me...

He just started digging into this line now...probably because he heard it from Keir a few days ago.

...Wow, so you really can't interfere in the plot casually!The clues I intercepted must be supplemented by him...

When Xiaolan turned around and asked Yuanzi again, I took out my phone and sent a text message to Conan.

-Is it "Seven Children"?

Um!This should be no problem!

Then Conan's phone call came quickly.

I flicked my finger and hung up quickly.

Sent him another one.

-It was Xiaolan who asked me about that syllable just now. I just remembered it. I don’t have any more information. Don’t call me. I have to go to class.

Of course, there are still several minutes before the school bell rings.

"Oh! Don't worry about the melody that little devil asked!" Sonoko raised her voice and called me, "Ruri, are you coming?"

I looked at her in surprise: "Ah? What's coming?"

She gestured excitedly: "I mean, Kaitou Kidd sent a warning letter saying that he will steal the black star on the Isabeth that will leave from Yokohama Port to Tokyo Port tomorrow! It's the heirloom of my family. Zhibao’s black pearl! So I asked Xiaolan’s father to help protect it. Xiaolan will also come to play, and Ruri will come too?”

So why are you so happy that your gem has been targeted...

But Kaitou Kidd?

I nodded: "Okay."

Sonoko paused and opened her eyes wide: "Hey - Ruri, who is so hard to get an appointment with, agreed so easily this time! Could it be that you are also interested in Lord Kidd?"

...I have such a hard time dating someone who is not gregarious, isn't it because I don't want to follow you and get into trouble...

I scratched my head helplessly: "Well, I am indeed quite curious about that big thief."

This ship is hosting a party tonight to celebrate the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the Suzuki Foundation.

I thought while stroking the black pearl that Sonoko's mother had given me when I came in just now.

Give each of the guests a black pearl so that Kidd doesn't know which one is real. This kind of countermeasure must have been thought up by the wealthy Suzuki Consortium.

Conan probably went to some strange corner to investigate again. Xiaolan went to find him and left for a long time. After she came back, I pulled her aside and smelled her scent.

She pushed my head, which was too close, with embarrassment on her face: "Ruri, what are you doing? Ah, do I smell weird?"

I whispered to her: "There is no peculiar smell, don't worry, both the appearance and the voice are perfect, Kuroba-san."

She was startled and looked at me in confusion: "What are you talking about?"

"Well... I haven't thanked you properly for what happened seven years ago." I smiled sincerely at her, "Thanks to you for helping me, I successfully saved the person I wanted to save. He The fact that I'm still alive and well now is all due to you, thank you."

The Phantom Thief was still struggling: "What are you talking about...did you admit the wrong person?"

"I don't mind pulling my sisters' cheeks in public, and I believe my sisters won't mind either." I tilted my head with a smile, "Since I didn't do that, let's have a candid chat. How about it?"

He paused, finally regained his original voice, and narrowed his eyes: "...you are very sure that I am Kidd, and you also know that I am Kuroyu...why?"

"Well, the former is because of my ability. I can smell it, so no matter who you are in disguise, I can identify it. Of course, I have no interest in unmasking you. That's a matter between the police and Detective their work. As for the latter..." I pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject, "By the way, Kuroba-san, do you like this country?"

The thief said dully "Huh?"

I squinted my eyes and smiled at him: "Because the country needs you, so I know you are Kuroba. Because the country needs you, your identity has not been exposed to the Metropolitan Police Department, and you have not been arrested yet... So, you Are you curious as to how much information the state agency behind me, which can investigate your true identity, has on the mysterious organization you are tracking?"

Of course, in reality, his true identity was just revealed to me by my memory.

Kidd looked at me blankly.

"It seems... you have a good background, sister Ruri." He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a smile that belonged to a thief appeared at the corner of his mouth, "But what you said is so mysterious, it sounds like the police What are the state agencies whose positions are inconsistent with each other?”

"It's not 'police', I just said 'Metropolitan Police Department'." I corrected him, "I made it so obvious. If you are smart, you should have guessed it by now, right?"

"Let me tell you straight, Kuroba Kaito, a secret policeman affiliated with the Japanese Public Security Bureau asked me to extend an invitation to cooperate with you. The Public Security Bureau will keep your identity confidential and will not interfere with your criminal behavior or with the investigation of the Second Section's arrest of you. arrest, and will provide you with the information you want that the police have - and all the police need is for you to maintain your identity as a phantom thief who is opposed to the official, and at some point in the future. At all times, disguise someone they designate as a specific person, and keep what you see absolutely confidential."

"Ha... the police, that's really surprising..." He sneered, his eyes a little cold, "And do I have a choice? It's said to be an invitation to cooperate, but in fact it's still coercion, right?"

I blinked: "We are obviously very sincere in wanting to cooperate. We will give you maximum trust and generous rewards, and what we need you to do is just a piece of cake for you, right?" "

He stared calmly at Mrs. Suzuki, who was attracting the most attention in the venue, and his pursed lips looked a little stubborn.

In fact, I can probably understand his state of mind... After all, he is just a bohemian boy who has just entered high school and is a bit of a sophomore.

But this is what I can get for him from Toru Amuro. It is the most preferential way for the police to treat him... Toru Amuro's initial proposal was not as complicated as it is now. He originally wanted to call the police and go directly to Kuroba. The house kidnaps people to help us work.

I also followed his gaze and looked at Yuanzi's mother, and softened my voice: "I'm sorry, you don't like being restrained... I'm really sorry, you are obviously my benefactor, but I used this kind of coercion..." To win you over. But we really need your strength and help. Everything the police do is just to better protect the country."

The thief was silent for a moment and walked towards the crowd. Before he left, he looked at me deeply.

"I know." He finally said to me.

I breathed a sigh of relief and watched his disguised Xiaolan return to the crowd and continue his performance. I lowered my head and took out my mobile phone and sent a text message to Toru Amuro saying "I've settled the matter."

Disguise is a useful skill.

If Bourbon wants to disguise himself to conduct an investigation, he can ask Belmod for help, but if Fang Gurei wants to disguise himself, he must start from other channels.

The black organization couldn't have imagined that the Japanese police would be so bold as to recruit Kid the Phantom Thief as their assistant, nor would they think that the police would be able to gain the ability to disguise themselves... Then we can make the next move.

Detective Maori was unhappy.

"I'm going to work!" He complained as he drove, holding a cigarette in his mouth, "Forget about Xiaolan and Conan, why does this little blond girl come to join in the fun! How can a famous detective still delay like this when he goes out to handle a case? The family has a mouth!”

Hey, aren't you.

I scratched my head and just opened my mouth, but Xiaolan had already taken over his words before me: "What does it matter, dad! What you are going to handle is a case that is very disturbing just by looking at the invitation letter. If Ruri is with me, I won’t be so scared!”

Detective Maori pursed his lips: "It's disturbing... Are you referring to the signature on the invitation, 'The Phantom Child Abandoned by God'?"

"That's right..." Xiao Lan said worriedly, "With the name 'Twilight Villa'... are there really no vampires where we are going?"

"There are no vampires in this world." I comforted her.

"The blond girl is right. In the deep mountains of Japan, at most, only the mountain witch Granny lives..." Uncle Maori slammed on the brakes and was shocked, "The Mountain witch Granny!?"

"Hiss..." I cried sadly and rubbed my forehead, which was hit hard on the back of the front seat because of his sudden braking. Conan sat next to me and looked at me sympathetically: "Are you okay? "

The old lady standing in the middle of the road holding an umbrella felt a very strange feeling under the high beam light.

"It's so rude, what a mountain witch." The old lady looked very calm, "My name is Senjian Yudai, and I am also a detective. My car broke down halfway, and I am waiting here to see if anyone passes by... You guys want to do it too. You’re going to the Dusk Annex, right? Can you give me a ride?”

It was a bit crowded with three people in the back seat, but fortunately the weird villa was already in front of us.After driving for another ten minutes, we finally arrived at our destination.

In the villa at dusk under the dark clouds and lightning and thunder, the terrifying atmosphere is particularly well rendered.

This place was the former residence of Renya Karasuma, the boss of the black organization.
